A BASKETBALL tournament with a heart.
The UNTV Cup, now on its fifth season, continues its noble campaign of donating to the chosen charities of all 13 participating government teams. It is giving away more than P12 million in total prizes this season.
Slam-bang action also continues today, with the Senate Defenders and NHA Builders needing to win at the Pasig City Sports Center to keep their hopes alive in order to advance in the next round of the UNTV Cup.
Senate (0-3) battles it out at 2 p.m. with an inspired MMDA (1-2), which is coming off a come-from-behind win over the Ombudsman team last Sunday.
Group A is composed of six teams and only four squads will advance to the second round of eliminations. MMDA, currently stands at fourth place, while Senate is at the sixth and last spot, the only winless team in the group.
Meanwhile, the NHA Builders also need to win its game against the HOR Solons at 5 p.m. to stay alive going to the next round.
